Real Madrid's management has always encouraged coaches to bring in quality players to deliver for the team. Their financial strength means there's no excuse for failure, despite the numerous injuries last season, which led to a decline in the team's performance. Overall, Ancelotti's career at Real Madrid has been quite impressive since his arrival.
Similarly, Xabi Alonso will be expected to deliver a strong performance for the team. If not, he will be the one ultimately responsible, as Real Madrid boasts quality players across all ranks. Now, all eyes are on Xabi Alonso's work, which will be eagerly awaited for next season. Some are optimistic, while others are not.
Unlike Ancelotti, I see that Alonso works with the players a bit differently. When Ancelotti was the coach, everyone noted that the atmosphere within the team was very friendly. Ancelotti tried to maintain very good relationships with each player. With Alonso, things are a bit different he tries to take a more professional approach, and it’s already clear that he doesn’t have the best relationship with Rodrygo. I believe the same is happening with some other players at Real Madrid whom he doesn’t plan to work with. That’s why I think this is also affecting the atmosphere within the team, and not in the best way.
